I have had a great passion for Technology since I was very young. From the age of about six I took apart electronics devices and figured out how they worked. At age 9 I learned how to program Satellite Receivers, VCR`s and other electronic devices.
In 1991 my main focus became globally connected Bulletin Board Systems (BBS’s) the precursor to the Internet of the modern world. Hosting, Maintaining and Upgrading the BBS gave me the ability to share and exchange diverse information and multimedia with people around the world. I then began fixing computers for my friends and school teachers.
At age 17 I was assisting in computer training for groups of about 15 people in my community. I always found great pleasure and satisfaction in helping people understand computer technology! It is rewarding to see how technology helps people in exciting, creative and very productive ways! In 1994 I started working at a small computer store and soon began teaching graphic and video editing at a local school.

I then went into a Computer Engineering program in Kingston Ontario for Post Secondary education. I then worked at Queens University networking department, installing computer network systems and cables for a ‘Work Experience’ Program. I then graduated my post secondary computer programs and moved to Nelson BC in 1998.
I gained tones of experience working at Phoenix Computers (used to be called Ramsbottoms) for almost ten years 1998 to 2008. This Job provided me with a rewarding experience in showing people how computers work, and what they can do with them! During this time at the store I also helped friends and community members as a second income from my home computer lab!
In 2008 I decided to start my own computer and tech company called Avatar. I often fix computers that other professionals gave up on! I also have done lots of one-on-one tutoring through my business. I am now so glad to be able to offer this training to you! So be at ease, computers really are friendly, and together we`ll enjoy making life more creative and effective through their proficient use.
